Without a doubt, but would be nice to see Labour look to incentivize people to work, especially on low incomes in tandem with reducing welfare. However I’m not sure if tax breaks/ the carrot are part of their vocabulary.

Yeah – the welfare bill is out of control with the triple lock and skyrocketing PIP claims.
With the size of their parliamentary majority, they’d be well placed to make the tough policy decisions now. However, their noses are too deep in polling data and they’re more interested in being reelected than making good choices for the future of the country.
They should’ve been more prepared to be unpopular in the short term if they were confident that the changes would be positive for growth

UC is going up 6%…my pay increase is 2.7%…why WOULD anyone want to work? As for incentivising…well that really is a sad state of affairs when not brought up with a moral compass like that to begin with. Why on earth should we encourage someone to work. Beggars belief. At the same time the amount of benefits you can get is enough to decide not to even bother! Such a sad state we’re now in.

Christ, are JP Morgan really that transparent and stupid??
Of course JP Morgan are going to call for the government to attack the vulnerable by cutting welfare benefits provision. JP Morgan’s whole business is to slavishly serve the richest. They ain’t going to call for a wealth tax now, are they?!

Most people on UC work..people think people on UC are the problem when in reality they are not..it’s the companies underpaying everyone so the government has to step in..as for PIP that’s easy to sort out, anyone who hasn’t had a doctors medical or a therapist or any sort of therapy signed off then their claims get stopped and they have 1 month to provide full evidence otherwise they have to payback everything they had claimed. Benefits is a problem but it’s not the biggest problem it’s a the people abusing it that’s the problem. I’ve always said every area needs help so the people on benefits can help out and learn valuable skills and work ethics, painting,rubbish removal, street sweeping,helping the elderly etc no reasons why these able bodies adults cant do that

No, Britain must tax it’s wealthiest corporations and and individuals more to pay for necessary public services. There’s no need to cut welfare if you increase tax revenue. We can’t keep doing trickle down economics , it doesn’t trickle down, the rich just accumulate more and more assets and raise living costs on the poor. We’re slow marching towards neo feudalism which is exactly what JP Morgan and their ilk want.

Yes, let’s kill more poor and disabled people, and remove more money from the economy. The last 15 years totally didn’t happen.

And actually help people instead of taking the advice of a bank

Interesting. The money is there, it’s just that more and more of it is being distributed amongst fewer and fewer people.

There’s soo much poverty and misery in so many towns that cutting more public funding in these areas is just going cause chaos or a massive internal migration.

Last time I checked, JP Morgan have never proposed raising taxes on their highest earners or other wealthy people.
Nor do they have any specialist knowledge of disabled people’s issues and the support thats needed.
Sorry, but picking on the most vulnerable is disgusting. You think we’ve got issues in our economy? You pay for them then.
After all, its your greed that’s caused the issues in the first place, no matter which minority you try to divert the blame to.
